Northwestern would put another run across on a throwing error by co-captain Deborah Abeles. The Crimson bats silently went down one-two-three to close out the game. There was no magic left after the demoralizing events of the previous two innings...
...flip? Archer reversed himself because of the ephedrine industry's strong opposition and its threats of litigation, his spokesman said. But records and interviews obtained by TIME suggest another plausible reason: the office of Governor Bush encouraged, if not inspired, Archer's about-face after lawyers close to Bush began work for a leading manufacturer.

And the young, handsome, likable congressman from suburban Long Island is a good moderate-to-conservative Republican, with none of Rudy's enemies in the state GOP and fewer problems with Republicans in upstate New York, where Giuliani was almost as much of a carpetbagger from...
